Package or DIY for honeymoon?

Hi everyone,

We are getting married next year in May and we are currently planning our honeymoon for the end of July/beginning of August 2023.
We have decided on a multi centre trip - 5 nights Singapore, 6 nights Borneo and 7 nights Langkawi before returning to Singapore for one night before our flight home.

Normally I do all the planning for our holidays and do everything myself, but as it�s our honeymoon I thought it might be more secure to book through a reputable company. I enquired with trailfinders after a recommendation and gave them all the details (inc which airlines, hotels, room types, internal flights etc) and they have quoted over �14,000 which was a bit of a shock considering what I had priced DIY (despite being based on August 2022 prices)

So I just wondered if anyone has any advice on if I should go with someone like Trailfinders for the security (they have a COVID peace of mind policy offering a full refund if there are any issues) or whether it would be secure enough to plan and book everything myself, and save some ��. TIA!

DD and DSIL booked with Kuoni when they did Singapore and Bali for their honeymoon. They went in to a kuoni shop and arranged to stay with a friend in Singapore before travelling on to Bali. Kuoni was very flexible
